TFU to NKG questions
Morning or evening flight on TFU–NKG?
Operators schedule morning departures around 06:55 and evening departures around 17:30 from TFU. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the NKG delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from TFU to NKG?
Great-circle distance is 1,382 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 128–148 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does TFU–NKG fly?
5 carriers operate this route, around 91 flights a week between them. Compare carrier days and times in the airline list above.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at TFU and arrival-side delay at NKG, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
